Tell McDonald’s: Give Workers Paid Leave Protections Now
Protect your workers: Guarantee every employee has access to paid sick days and paid family leave now.
Why is this important?
McDonald’s employees are on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic. As an essential service provider, the fast-food giant continues to operate every day, while many employees don’t have access to paid sick days or paid family leave—forcing them to make an impossible choice between their job and protecting their health and their family’s health.
The majority of McDonalds 800,000 employees are women and people of color--some of the same communities that are least likely to have access to paid leave. To make matters worse, trendlines on COVID-19 infection rates in the U.S. show that the pandemic is hitting Black and Hispanic communities hardest.
That’s why we’re joining our friends at the Fight for $15, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to amplify the voices of McDonald’s employees and demand that paid sick days and paid family leave is provided to ALL employees who wear a McDonald’s uniform.
